FAQs

What does 'Multi Purpose Balm' mean?

It means the balm is designed to be used on various parts of the body to address dryness and roughness, such as hands, elbows, lips, and cuticles, rather than being specific to one area.

How often should I use this balm?

You can reapply the balm as needed throughout the day. For best results on very dry areas, consider applying it before bedtime.

Can I use this balm on my face?

While the balm is designed for nourishing and protecting, it's primarily intended for dry or rough areas like hands, elbows, and lips. It may be too heavy for facial skin, and it is crucial to avoid the eye area. A patch test is recommended if considering use on other facial areas.

Is this product suitable for children?

This product is intended for adults. Keep it out of reach of children as stated in the product warnings.

What are the main ingredients?

The primary ingredients include Petrolatum, Paraffinum Liquidum, and Cera Microcristallina, which are emollients and occlusives that help to moisturize and protect the skin. It also contains parfum (fragrance) and tocopheryl acetate (Vitamin E).

Does the balm contain any allergens?

The balm contains 'parfum' (fragrance), which can be a sensitivity trigger for some individuals. Always check the ingredient list and perform a patch test if you have concerns.

How long does a 30ml container typically last?

Given its concentrated formula, a 30ml container can last a considerable time with regular, targeted use. A small amount is effective for each application.

Troubleshooting

Balm feels too heavy or greasy.

Apply a smaller amount of balm. The concentrated formula means a little goes a long way. Gently massage it in until absorbed, and ensure you are not applying it to broken skin where it might sit differently.

Skin irritation occurs after application.

Discontinue use immediately. This product contains fragrance, which may be the cause. Avoid contact with eyes and do not apply to broken or infected skin.

Product appears to have separated or changed texture.

This can sometimes occur due to temperature fluctuations during shipping or storage. Gently stir the balm with a clean utensil or warm it slightly between your fingers before application. If the texture change is significant or accompanied by an off odor, discontinue use.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for adults with dry, rough, or sensitive skin areas.
  • The balm is formulated for external use only.
  • While generally well-tolerated, it's always advisable to perform a patch test on a small area of skin if you have very sensitive skin or a history of reactions to skincare products.

Care Instructions:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly closed after each use to maintain product integrity and prevent drying.
